Continental is absolutely amazing. They have incredible quality jewelry and really listen to what we want. We worked with a few different people, all of which were wonderful, but Jane stood out to us as being a great help! She found us exactly what we were looking for and within the price range we wanted to stay in.

My mom gave me a stone that she bought 30 years ago. My fiance and I wanted it set for an engagement ring. We went to a few custom jewelry designers but knew Ashley was the one when we met with her. The thing that really stood out about Ashely and Continental is that Ashley uses a software program to design your ring on the spot. As she designed the ring, it appeared on a screen in front of us. I could tell her what I liked and what I wanted changed and she did it on the spot before we put any money down.

With such a precious family heirloom, I didn't want to risk having a design that I didn't like. Ashley did a wonderful job. After we settled on a design, we paid a deposit. She then ordered a wax sample of the band and setting. This step was also very comforting to me in that I was able to see what the ring would look like on my hand before it was in its final form. Of course, when we received the ring it was everything we wanted it to be. Ashley helped pick out bands for us as well. Everything in the store was tasteful and the service was excellent.

My husband bought my engagement ring and our wedding rings from Continental Diamond in Minnesota. He grew up in Bloomington and knew of the quality that Continental Diamond provides. The store, which is a family owned business, is truly high quality. They have beautiful jewelry and are extremely kind and helpful. They treated us to bottles of champagne in celebration of our life event and purchase.
They did not tax us since they shipped it to our residence in NJ. They also threw in jewelry cleansing solution and a jewelry tray as service.
We feel like we got a great value on our beautiful rings and are so happy!

This has easily become my favorite jewelry store in the Twin Cities. I used to work in the jewelry industry on the wholesale/manufacturing side, and for several years I was a diamond buyer for my company. I've since left the jewelry industry, but I'm still asked to "consult" every time one of my friends wants to make a purchase. I knew Continental by reputation, but I first went in to the store when one of my friends was shopping for an engagement ring. He wanted to get my opinion on the price and quality of the stone. Given my past, I'm very familiar with both of those things. And I've been to a lot jewelry stores where a 20 year old salesperson tries to tell me something that I know to be incorrect, clearly regurgitating something they've heard somewhere else in order to close a sale (To be fair, I'm a bit of a gemology geek, and I'm sure those salespeople just don't know any better. Not their fault). Anyway, suffice it to say that my default attitude when going into a store is skepticism. I also knew the reputation of the store-- they had amazing jewelry, and it was the place that professional athletes went when they wanted to buy diamonds. I assumed this meant they were only interested in big sales. When my friend showed me the grading report of the diamond and the price he was quoted, I told him that there had to be something wrong with the diamond-- it was too cheap-- and I didn't want him to buy it without me looking at it first. So we drove over to Continental (my first time there) and looked at the stone together. We met with Olivia who was very knowledgeable about diamonds and was even familiar with the company I used to work for. The diamond was absolutely legit, and it was priced so low because of when and how they bought the diamond. I was so impressed that I started going to the store on my own when they had diamond presentations. I started talking to Andy at one of those events, and we hit it off. Given how much exposure I've had to the industry, as w

Top notch customer service! My husband bought my engagement ring and our wedding bands here. Linda was a pleasure to work with! I loved the wedding band she helped us pick out and was able to customize the band so that it would match beautifully with my engagement ring. I love it!!

My husband chose a Tungsten type band and the size that was ordered was slightly too big when he tried it on. Linda and Continental Diamond went above and beyond to get the right size verified and ordered for him without much hassle. They are always prompt and professional.

If you don't want a big chain store, but you want a nice selection and high quality experience - look no further: Continental Diamond! I was so pleased with my experience with them, and I love that they are family owned. Even after so many years in business, they seem to continue to deliver the same high quality they established themselves on. Love it!
